Oklahoma City Thunder – Kevin Durant Makes Scoring Look Easy
The injury to Russell Westbrook might turn out to be the best thing that’s happened to the Oklahoma City Thunder and especially Kevin Durant this season, coming together in an unexpected way, with the team looking like it can do no wrong at the moment and the player safely on his way to win his first MVP award.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Kevin Durant Can Do More Than Just Score
There’s no real rest for Kevin Durant unless the Oklahoma City Thunder are able to close out a game early. He had things firmly in control before being sent to the bench for the rest of the game, doing most of the work early on in the 108-93 win over the Sacramento Kings.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Ignored as James Harden Orchestrates Epic Collapse
A perfect display of how dysfunctional this Houston Rockets team can be; 73 points in one half, 19 points in the second. The Oklahoma City Thunder come away with the 104-92 win that was mostly about 3-point shooting and timing, as Jeremy Lin gets left out when his team needed some intelligence on the court, and James Harden tried to save the day but to no avail.

Thunder vs Knicks – Too Easy to be Taken Seriously
Without their best player, there wasn’t much the New York Knicks were hoping to get from their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. And yet, it’s doubtful that Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant thought it was going to be as easy as it seemed to be looking from the outside.

Kevin Durant Giving the Knicks a Sad Christmas
No Carmelo Anthony, and that was pretty much the beginning and the end of the Christmas story between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the New York Knicks. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook (with a triple double) carried on with their excellent form, leading to a very impressive 123-94 road win.

Thunder vs Hawks – Kevin Durant Denies Three Winning Eastern Teams
The Eastern conference can’t have more than two teams with a winning record, so after bringing the Indiana Pacers back down to earth, Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder went to work on the Atlanta Hawks, showing they can be just as dangerous and effective on the road as they are on their undefeated home run so far this season.

Pacers vs Thunder – Not a Fair Fight Right Now
All the talk about how good the Indiana Pacers being the best in the NBA and Paul George being a better player than Kevin Durant went into hiatus after a 118-94 win for the Oklahoma City Thunder, keeping their undefeated status and proving some kind of a point in the meaningless power rankings at this stage of the season.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Russell Westbrook is the Best Point Guard in the NBA Right Now
Great players have short memories, and few in the NBA are as good as Russell Westbrook is right now. He didn’t just a rare game winning shot just before the buzzer, but simply took the reigns and pulled forward, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a dramatic 113-112 win over the Golden State Warriors, who simply can’t figure out what to do with Andre Iguodala still injured.

Spurs vs Thunder – The Battle For the Best in the West
Right now, there’s now doubt it’s the Oklahoma City Thunder. Yes, one head-to-head win is enough to determine that, with the team’s records being so close, and the San Antonio Spurs being yet another team that failed to win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the best home advantage in the NBA until this moment. Even with Russell Westbrook doing his best to ruin it for his team, the bench and the fantastic two-way ability of Serge Ibaka were enough to make up for it.

Jazz vs Thunder – Don’t Even Need Westbrook For This
The Oklahoma City Thunder knew what they were doing giving Russell Westbrook a bit of rest as they hosted the Utah Jazz. Against the worst team in the NBA, without a single starter scoring more than 8 points, Kevin Durant for half a game is more than enough to pick up a 95-73 victory.
